Travel Mindset
This sentiment by Paulo Coelho is so true, especially about circumnavigators. They could be rich or poor, no difference. It’s their courage, as well as determination, that make it happen. For more travel inspiration, visit my board on Pinterest.

Facts About Rain Gardens
I recently wrote a blog about my rain garden, and discovered some additional facts:
- In fact, the local DNR (Department of National Resources) loves rain gardens. I checked their website for “approved” and “recommended” plants. All plants I used are local to the area and recommended except for the Egyptian papyrus, which is native to the Nile River and an annual rather than a perennial.
- The DNR gives grants for devising practical use of dry creeks and rain gardens near Wisconsin’s waterways. My landscaping service informed me that my project would be eligible. I was not willing to wait, though, for the wheels of government bureaucracy to spin for two years or so. Obviously, I wanted to get going right away.
